Description

Our Bachelor Program of Engineering in Biotechnology
combines biology, chemistry and science of engineering.

During the studies you will learn to apply in depth knowledge
of biochemical and biotechnological processes according to production of drugs
(medicine), food industry and environmental challenges.

You will get acquainted with methods used in the field
of biotechnology of industrial production.

You will also obtain knowledge of engineering
principles relevant to the processing of materials by microorganisms (such as
bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa and viruses) or plant and animal cells to
create useful products or industrial processes.

Career Opportunities

As a Bachelor of Engineering in
Biotechnology you acquire a wide range of career opportunities in the global
job market - in Denmark or abroad.

You will obtain competences within
development and production using biotechnological processes. It could be
solving tasks within the fields of health science, nutrition, environment and
energy, within areas covering scope of food and medicine production,
environmental and energy sectors.

You will qualify for a position as
operational and production engineer working with process control based on
chemical, physical and biological analysis. Control, regulation and
optimization of production processes could also be one of your areas of
responsibility.

Moreover, having this education, you can
work as a process, trial and development engineer within research and
development of new setups in the area of most recent biological production and
wastewater purification processes.

About the Degree

The degree focuses on biotechnology,
for example how cells are used as small factories in the production of medicine
and foodstuffs, or how they are used in purification of wastewater or
converting waste into energy - biofuels.
You will gain theoretical
knowledge within biotechnology and will be working with the following
disciplines:

Cell and microbiology

Biotechnology and protein chemistry

General and technical chemistry

Mathematics and statistics

Moreover, you will get
acquainted with a line of technical subjects such as chemical unit operations,
practical regulation, fermentation and chemical reaction engineering.
From the very beginning of
your education, you will start bridging theory and practice,
integrating obtained theoretical knowledge with real-life professional
practice. University College Absalons Bachelor of Engineering program is based on the close cooperation
with local companies – bio manufactory market leaders as Novo Nordisk, Novozymes,
Statoil, DONG etc.
The last year of studies
includes a mandatory internship, elective courses and bachelor thesis which
provide you with a unique opportunity to tailor these activities in close
collaboration with the companies.
